Gei Oni (Valley of Fortitude)Trip – גיא אוני

Jenny — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 08:03:38 +0000

The book “Gei Oni” was one of my favorite books when it just came out. It’s a story about a girl that takes place during the first wave of Jewish European migration to Palestine, at the end of the 19th century. It’s a love story between Fania, a young Russian immigrant, and Yechiel, a native Jew.

Last Saturday, I joined the “Hevra le Haganat Ha Teva” trip to Rosh Pina (previously called Gai Oni) where the Israeli part of the story took place.

It is very peaceful there and the nature feels almost untouched by humans which makes it breathtaking. I took these pictures with my iPhone but surprisingly they came out better than i expected.

This is a really cool tool. Just move the slider from left to right and watch the universe from it’s edge to the quantum foam of space time.
Makes you wonder ……..

PayPal Stupidity

Jenny — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:15:28 +0000

I use PayPal a lot. Who doesn’t? Usually they do a good job, until they do something very stupid.
I have numerous subscriptions to various services that are paid every month via PayPal.
One of my credit cards on file with PayPal was about to expire. So I went ahead of time and replaced the expiring card with a new card.
Next thing I know, they canceled one of my subscriptions. Same subscription that had this same credit card that I just replaced, as payment method.
I was very upset and emailed PayPal asking them “why did you cancel the subscription?”

So the next day I got a response from them. This was the stupidest thing they could come up with.
Here it is:

Dear Jenny Schneider,

Thank you for your email. If you have a subscription payment on PayPal
and you update or change that credit card or bank account that you use
for that payment, unfortunately it will automatically cancel your
subscription.
I do apologize for the inconvenience in this matter.

Sincerely,
Tamara

I am asking you, PayPal:
Why would you allow people to make changes if it will cancel the subscription? Isn’t this defeats the purpose?
We make the changes so the subscription will NOT get canceled or compromised when the card will expire.

Mouseless Mouse – Coming Soon

As someone who spends majority of her awake time on line, with a right wrist in abnormal position I often have pain in my right wrist.
I read all the scary stories about wrist surgery that gone bad or even worst solution of living with chronic pain for the rest of my life.

Good news are here – mouse-less mouse.
I love the idea. Gives your hand freedom to move naturally on the surface.

An UNOFFICIAL race video

THS – The TRUE Hollywood Story

This is a spoof on the Keys 100 Race which is an ultra marathon event.
We (Friends in Training gang) participated in the relay. The day of the run was very hard, mostly because of the extreme heat conditions. We were on the road from 4:00 AM until 4:00 AM and each one of us ran a total of approximately 20 miles.
Of course all the pain and suffering was quickly forgotten as soon as we hit Key West and the party started

Google’s New Look

Jenny — Wed, 12 May 2010 11:30:55 +0000

Google has a new look : new logo and new user interface.
The new logo is cleaner and has no shadow. The TM mark is also gone.
The new UI has now 3 columns and many good and useful features.

I did not have the time to explore it deeper, but the first one that I noticed and find it very useful is that links to videos and images are right there on the side and you don’t have to toggle from screen to screen any more.

You got to love Google. They reinvent themselves all the time bringing the users better searching experiences.
